Hi
I'm about to start my first build -- before I purchase, does this look like a good build for a mainstream (light gaming, media, etc) pc? I may use it as a quasi-media center in the future. I'm also looking to keep energy consumption as low as possible, keep it quiet, and avoid the need to upgrade in the near future.
Motherboard: GA-EP35-DS3L ($89.99)
CPU: Core 2 Duo E7200 ($134.99)
4 Gigs of OCZ SLI-Ready Edition 2GB DDR2 1066 ($179.98 - $70 in rebates)
GIGABYTE GV-NX86T256H GeForce 8600GT 256MB ($87.99)
WD Caviar GP 500GB SATA HD ($89.99)
ASUS DVD Burner with LightScribe ($32.99)
Sonata Designer Case w/Antec Earthwatts 500W power supply (already purchased - $89.99 after rebate)
Thanks everyone!
